Mental health is essential for each and every one of us, yet most of us don't get to learn the key components that can help us cultivate mental wellness. In The Mental Wellness Practice, you can learn important information, delve into reflection prompts, and leave with practical strategies. In episode 45, Dr. Shainna encourages us on challenging common misconceptions about rest and challenges us to redefine rest in order to cultivate wellbeing.
